    Calling all bread makers!

    I need help!

    I have arecipe I use that is a no knead recipe. It has been rising since midday and on the recipe it says you can put it in the fridge for 14 days in a container with a hole in it. I want to bake it tomorrow but it keeps rising!!

    Will it stop once I put it in the fridge? I have shaped the loaves now on a tray and was thinking I could cover with some glad wrap loosely but I am having visions that by morning I will have 2 ginormous loaves of bread that overflow over the whole fridge

    How do I know if it has riz enough?

    It's not a bread maker recipe - just an artisan oven one.

    i've been making this one - it nearly exploded while doing its rise thing before putting in the fridge (too hard to explain to DH about putting in the fridge). It stopped rising when I put it in the fridge and I've still got 2 batches to make off it sometime in the next week.

    yep - I worked out that the size of container needed was about 5L so I bought a cheap brand plastic container and put a small pin hole near the centre circle thing in the lid and it's been going fine. I just take about 1/4 out at a time.

    If you're wanting to bake it tomorrow I'd be putting it in the fridge now and then getting it out about 1/2 hr before baking while you pre-heat.

    Oh and the first time I made it I used an upside down pizza tray and it turned out fine, a bit dampish but edible; turned out better when I bought a pizza stone to cook on though.

    ETA - I put mine in the fridge about 2 hours after mixing

    Cool thanks hun - last time I did 4 hours on the bench, then 1 in the fridge. I have a pizza stone and with the water tray underneath comes out perfectly! I have put it in the oven now and will chase up a nice big container so I can bake it as I need it!

    Putting it in the fridge puts all the little yeast critters to sleep, and they stop growing and multiplying.

    Do they start mulitiplying again when they reach room temp?
    Can I put un riz dough in the fridge and then let it rise as I need it, or do I have to rise before I chill?

    I don't think so, not if you've already mixed the dough. I keep opened yeast in the fridge, but if I'm making rolls with leftover dough they don't keep rising when I take it out.
